Instagram is such a great place to find inspiration for your hair, nails and your makeup. We've picked out some of the coolest makeup looks on Instagram right now, from beautiful bold pouts to fantastic feline flicks - you're welcome!

We're constantly told in the beauty world that you must pick one feature to go bold with, rather than emphasising both your eyes and your lips. Angelica proves that with a little confidence and a rock'n'roll attitude, you can totally pull off both from time to time.

Want to know how to rock a bright lipstick during the daytime? Follow the lovely Sade's lead and keep the rest of your face pared-down. Also try to opt for matte shades, which often feel more wearable.

Liza is a natural beauty, and her thick, perfectly shaped brows are totally dreamy. Embrace your full eyebrows with a simple slick of clear mascara, or if they are on the thinner side, use a thin-nibbed pencil to fill them out a little.

Selfridges beauty insider and blogger Rose is always sharing some great makeup tips and skills on her Instagram and this rose gold look had us swooning. Use the colour under your eyes as well as on your lids, just like Rose.

As a makeup artist, we're constantly wowed by the looks Nikki creates on her clients. But she also always looks insanely gorge herself, too. Just check out those brows and her dreamy highlighted cheekbones.
